Ready for National Coupon Month Day 4 ” Coupon Money Makers “? Now that you’ve got the coupon thing down let’s explore some advanced ways to use coupns and turn them into free items or money makers!

Stacking coupns: Some stores put out their own coupns and will allow you to use them with a manufacturer’s coupn on the same item. This can make some items free after using both coupns. Telling the difference between a store coupn and a mfr. coupn can be tricky sometimes. Some mfr. coupns will have a big store logo on them giving you the illusion that it’s a store coupn. How do you tell the difference? Look for the words “manufacturer coupn” along the top or bottom of the coupn. Also, if you look at the fine print of the coupn you will see instructions for the store to redeem the coupn. On some store coupns it will state ” may not be used with any other coupns” Make sure you read your coupns carefully before you use them or you could end up spending more than you expected.

Rebates: Look for items that have “Try Me Free”, cash back, or refund offers. These are great money makers when combined with coupns.For example:
You see Dove deodorant on sale for $2.99
You have a coupn for $2.00/1 Dove deodorant
There’s a “Try Me Free” peelie on the deodorant
$2.99 – $2.00 (coupon) = $.99 Submit for $2.99 rebate = FREE + $2.00 profit!
